"My partner and I, along with another couple, decided to visit this pub for a drink after a nice meal on the high street while waiting for our taxi. Unfortunately, our experience was quickly soured by a rowdy group, one of whom was openly using cocaine. The door staff seemed more interested in standing outside than managing the situation inside, and the landlady appeared unaware of what was happening. I would not recommend this pub for late-night visits based on our experience. I cannot speak to what the atmosphere is like during normal hours, as this was our first and last time visiting. I am willing to provide more information, but not through a private email. The incident occurred on a Friday evening, and the way it was handled by the lady who insisted we leave created the impression that she was in charge, despite not being a staff member. The door staff were informed of the situation when we left, but their response was not satisfactory. We felt uncomfortable reporting the incident to a staff member inside, as we did not want to leave our partners in a hostile environment. Despite our efforts to peacefully leave the situation, no action was taken against the disruptive group, particularly the individual using cocaine. I understand that negative reviews may not be welcome, but this review is based on our honest experience. I hope that this incident will be properly investigated."

"Me and my partner went to Bohemia for an anniversary meal we had a short break in Brighton i had my table originally booked for but amended to which was absolutely fine. Missed a call, phoned back the number when I realised and see it was a Brighton area code and it was regarding my table informing us the kitchen closes at but we are the last booking but it will not effect our meal we can still order, just not to be late. Perfect. That’s fine. We arrived earlier just to be a bit more helpful, roughly about to then be told that they didn’t have a lot of options left on the menu and as a vegetarian I was restricted to what I could eat as it was. I was told there was only one veggie option left, which is something I knew I wouldn’t enjoy. I was rather rudely told by the waitress ‘well we did try to call you’... to which I did inform her I did call back and it was actually only to do with confirming my booking, no mention of the fact you didn’t have a lot of options left on your menu otherwise we would have cancelled all together. So, we left. Had to hunt for another restaurant that wasn’t fully booked and also not so casual that we felt a bit overdressed for the occasion. I didn’t fancy an anniversary meal in a Wagamamas. It’s a shame because the place looked very nice and I had seen good reviews. I won’t be attempting to visit again"
